Conglomeration of wonders

Catch employees doing something right
Celebrate successes always in public
Learn from group mistakes through healthy dialog - no finger pointing anytime
No good purpose is going to be served by putting your own people on the defensive all the time.
Allow them to feel great for having done a good job of it – you will only gain from it and you will not lose anything
And MOST Important – Build TRUST – without that nothing works.
Do NOT manipulate with human capital – it will never get you any results
Hold your next staff meeting in a courtyard or at a park
Take a subordinate to lunch and invite your boss
Conduct regular employee meetings sincerely
Do not talk in the air during the meetings
Have a contest and buy lunch for the winner(s)
